Gabby Barry won’t come in out of the rain in her new video for “The Easy Part.”

In the clip for the breakup song, which she co-wrote with HARDY and others, Gabby stands in the street singing about the end of a relationship while we see a couple break up, then flash back to their happier times. As the video reaches its emotional climax, it starts raining, and Gabby continues to sing while getting drenched. At the end of the video, the female half of the couple goes for a drive and passes by her ex, who’s in his truck with another woman. She smiles to herself, while he looks upset.

Gabby says in a statement, “‘The Easy Part’ plays with the idea that sometimes the dramatic moment in a relationship feels like the hardest part, but often it’s what comes after that really stays with you.”

“The song reflects on those memories; the good and the complicated, and realizing what they meant over time. In the video, you see those moments play out as she looks back on the relationship and ultimately chooses peace and keeps moving forward.”

Gabby celebrated her 26th birthday on Thursday. This summer she’ll be opening for Parker McCollum on his tour.

Carrie Underwood is one of the biggest stars to emerge from American Idol, but even though her time on the show obviously worked out the best it possibly could have for her, she still has one regret.

Asked by Billboard what she would change if she could go back in time and change one thing about her time on the show, for which she now serves as a judge, Carrie says, “I’m very angry with myself because when I was on the show, I wasn’t taking any pictures. I’m thinking, ‘Why? Why didn’t you do that? Why didn’t you save these things?’”

Carrie goes on to say, “We had a girl come in that had a pair of jeans that I wore on the show, and she told me, ‘My grandpa bought these at a charity auction.’ … [A]nd I asked, ‘Can I buy them back from you?'”

“Why did I let them go?” she wonders. “Why didn’t I keep more things and just document things a little better?”

As for fellow judge Luke Bryan, he says the one thing he’d change is that he “would have cherished more moments with Willie Spence.” Willie, the season 19 runner-up, died in a car crash in October 2022. He was 23.

“That’s a biggie to me – losing him and knowing how much he touched me in that room, in that space, watching him perform week in and week out. It was truly breathtaking,” Luke says.

“He was from Douglas, Georgia, which is an hour from my hometown. That loss really affected me. From time to time, I’ll see a clip of him singing and it just breaks my heart for him and his family, and I just can only imagine what his career might have been.”
